How long does it need to decompress before you can use it?

We slept on it the next night after it arrived. Very comfortable too! Excellent investment.

Bed should be at room temperature before inflating or it may cause air leaks. Time to fully inflate is approximately 4 minutes. Turn dial on pump to "inflate" position. Bed will inflate hands free. When desired firmness is reached, turn dial to neutral position. To deflate, turn dial to deflate. Once excess air is released, turn dial to neutral position. Store bed in temp. Above 50 degrees.

I usually just let it sit with the plug pulled out, it takes about an hour. It doesn't fully deflate so you have to step on it. I don't have to deflate it usually so this doesn't bother me. :)

All mattresses should be opened as soon as they are received to prevent any decompression issues that may take place from being packed for too long. Compressed mattresses have a shelf life and if they are left unopened too long after the manufacture date there is a chance of a decompression problem.

It'll take days to inflate it by mouth. If you use a dinky car charger air pump, it takes about 30 minutes. If you use an inexpensive electric air pump it takes about 5 minutes. Deflating is pretty quick, but good luck fitting it back into the carrying bag it comes with. It's very difficult to be able to get every little bit of air out and roll it up as flat as it was when we got it.

You should use a box spring or bed frame with the mattress. Allow for 48 hours for all the cells in the mattress to be exposed to the air before use as well.

Most recipes 3 days fermenting is sufficient. However, as long as everything looks and smells okay I would just get the liquid out of the airlock as quickly as possible.

depends on how much is on it, anywhere from 30 seconds to 10 minutes. You can't finalize it later.

I think it depends on what you put in it and how much air you leave in it before sealing

No, we do not recommend taking the cover off and washing it. We only recommend spot cleaning the cover if there are any spills or if any dirt gets onto it. These mattresses typically take 48-72 hours to fully decompress, but they can take up to one week to fully decompress in some cases. You can sleep on the mattress during this time, sleeping on the mattress will not slow down the decompression process. If after this time, your mattress is not fully decompressed, please let us know and we will provide you with warranty claim information.

It depends on how fast you breathe. I think you should consult a dive shop.

Inflation takes a minute, it's super fast. I'd say deflating takes longer though & you'll need to squeeze the air out of it to put it away. I fold it in thirds, then have my kids lay on it & roll from the step to the back-about 5 minutes.

It takes minutes to decompress, but don't expect a full sized bed in minutes; it definitely takes time. I received mine on Saturday (9/5/15) and I still don't think it's in its full form.

I use a rechargeable air pump with a switch to deflate . It only takes 2 minutes.

Only way (I think) you will decompress will be vacuum seal it again. It's filled out, does not take that long.

It depends on how u make it and if u press it. But a couple days with pressing maybe three days just always check it let it breath or it will mold
